Need your opinions: Hired another production company to help make my film. We agreed to me giving them an "in association with" credit, BUT since we wrapped they have lost one scene, that I had to reshoot on my dime and then lost an audio file. Not to mention being late on set most days and always full of excuses. I want to yank the "in association with" credit, am I being too stern???

No your not!! Being late once you can forgive but being late most days is taking the P155 , losing a scene and an audio file? This costs money and time for you/crew and the actors. Sorry cant help feeling that maybe this is not the right careera for them!! mmmmmm?!!!
Rock, another alternative might be to bury the "in association" credit with small and unreadable font. '-) But I agree, you need to send a message that being a "for hire" company carries with it a degree of dependability that being paid demands. If they are new and work cheap, then some of that can be overlooked, but they must realize that future work depends on getting their act together.
Bottom line Rock. You paid, they didnt deliver. breach of contract. You owe them nothing and if they complain, tell them you want to be reimbursed for time wasted and lost material. Until that happens, you will not give them the credit.
Thank you all so damn much. Awesome to hear the support on what I figured was probably right. Again, thank you for the counsel. Folks on here are so awesome and friendly.
